Deficiency Vitamin D is more common in children with tuberculosis (T.B.) than those not infected by the bacterial disease, according to a study conducted in hospitalised patients of Telangana.
The study, recently published in the journal Cureus, also found that a severe form of vitamin D deficiency, less than 10 nanogrammes per millilitre (ng/mL), was higher among children with T.B.
The team, including researchers from Osmania Medical College and Government Medical College, Siddipet, carried out the study in a tertiary care centre at Niloufer Hospital, Telangana, over a period of one year and five months.
